PTA Great Idea Bank

A resource for PTA and parent involvement project ideas

Our teacher membership has been down for the past years, so we tried something new this year. The new PTA Board greeted our teachers with a Welcome Back letter stating all the things that PTA provides throughout the year for our teachers. We also emphasized the T in PTA and we have had 9 teachers so far (first week of school) sign up. We attached a membership registration form to the letter and also asked what event they would be helping with this year. Every teacher that has joined PTA has signed up to help with an event. We are hopeful that all the teachers will see that they need to be apart of our PTA.

Oh Debbie, I may be the problem, but not a yes man. Have you read yet, if possible, that Harvard has come up with the idea that I have expressed even before you were born, that to be a Principle or above you must have a business degree since the schools should be, and are to be run as a business. That part went by the wayside with the advent of your Unions in the early 1970's and education started going in the toilet.
One idea that has helped at our school is that at faculty and staff meetings the principal had started calling the roll which meant that if their name was called out that meant that they needed to pay their PTSA dues this has worked out great at our school this past school term.

I would like to see a copy of your letter.  Thanks,  Dee
